Schiff’s Secret Transcripts (declassified interviews)

Wall Street Journal ^ | 4/24/20 | Editorial board

The Trump-Russia collusion narrative collapsed a year ago with the Robert Mueller report, but the story’s not over. Democrats are now trying to suppress details of how the bogus theory was promoted, led by House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff.

Republicans on the Intelligence Committee, under then-chairman Devin Nunes, wrapped up their investigation of election interference in April 2018. They found no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians. Mr. Schiff and Democrats objected to that conclusion and accused Republicans of hiding incriminating evidence. GOP Members were therefore only too happy in September 2018 to vote to release the transcripts of the investigation’s 53 witness interviews. The committee vote was unanimous. The documents were sent to the intelligence community in the executive branch for declassification.

Our sources say that process is now complete for 43 interviews, yet Mr. Schiff is refusing to make them public. The Chairman is also blocking declassification of the other 10. In a letter sent more than a year ago to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Mr. Schiff claimed ownership of the transcripts and insisted that “under no circumstances” could they be shared with “any persons associated with the White House or [President Trump].” This makes declassification impossible, as it bars the White House from its necessary role of checking the transcripts for privileged or other sensitive information.

Mr. Schiff isn’t explaining his new opposition to transparency, though it seems likely he wants to shield promoters of the collusion theory from scrutiny. Among the transcripts he’s blocking are interviews with former Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice and former Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power. Their authority was used to “unmask” the names of Trump campaign officials who talked with foreigners who were wiretapped by U.S. intelligence.

Meanwhile, the Senate is working hard on doing nothing about the issue.

I am so over this fool. Nothing is going to happen.

PRAY for JUSTICE to come knocking on Schiff’s PRISON CELL DOOR!

“Nothing is going to happen.”

That is exactly the reaction the deep state and the dems
want, it is exactly the reaction their psyops that have
been running against the American people for nearly 5 years
were designed to elicit from, shall we say, the weaker minded in our population. Don’t start falling for them now
just when the cascade of evidence against the coup plotters
is starting to be released and declassified. Buck up man,
stop being weak.

Now there is a liable list of co-consipiriators.
"You are known by the company that you keep" .

I wonder if Schiff can be charged with obstruction of justice, or , 'co-conspiritor after-the fact' ??
What a piece of work from California, along with his ' cerebral mentor',.. Missy 'ice cream' Nancy.

Doing anything at all is typically not in the electoral interest of GOP senators.

Repeal the 17th.
